Jazz Town is a special booklet to accompany my bandcamp spoken word and music album of the same title.
'Jazz Town is the world turned upside down, inside out –at once surreal and real, meshed with images of Jazz instrumentation, Jazz onomatopoeia and improvisation dripping with philosophers and painters and art movements..'
"This is Jazz Town. The melody of the rain, Trumpets of improvised images rain down. Maple Leaf or make believe, could reality be this absurd! Lovers bathe in Malay Specials, pineapples, bananas, and the grapes of wrath; pipers pipe in the Tartan highlands, absurdist politicians walk the catwalk with Pablo Picasso painted policies."
Listen to the 10 track album here on bandcamp and read the words on the pdf below.

Octopodus - (Lost in the Post) by Trev Teasdel is a 16 chapter novella written chapter by chapter each day on Facebook and collated in the digital Novella. The book is not about Lockdown or the Pandemic but mirrors the atmosphere and fear and the media hysteria with the motifs of the Octopi and the Terrapin running through out the book. It's a choreographed stream of consciousness (which sounds like a contradiction) initially taking it's influence from the first page of the Cannery Row by John Steinbeck.
"Red rusted ships, the smell of fish that rose on the wind from the docks, cranky cranes with crinkled cut chains and bread tin cabins, the tin pot tugs and plodding pilots by the river edge, and the red light bonking houses where the casinos squeal for money. I was lost in the post, out on my heel, befriended by fog and neon lamps."
BANDCAMP AUDIO VERSION OF OCTOPODUS
An audio version of this book exists on Bandcamp, with the first three chapters set to much by Trev, the first chapter with three interlinking bass guitar tracks and the other two with electric guitar, effects and bass. The rest of the chapters are spoken word. You listen to the chapters here -
